I made actual aurora borealis in roblox

Very unfinished but yeah, can be seen from anywhere.

Wow, this Aurora Borealis looks great! How did you make it? What game is it used in? Can we see more?

I made it using particle emitters, bypassing the way roblox renders some stuff. I’m planning to use it for my game but I was thinking of making a test place.

Reminds me of the default Mac backgrounds with the same phenomenon. Looks great :slight_smile: I presume you bypassed the emitter’s rate being affected by graphics level by emitting them manually?

Yes! I also bypassed the distance from which the emitter can actually emit because it’s actually thousands of studs away. For this, I just made an attachment at spawn and put a beam to the far away attachment. You can check out the demo here: Aurora Borealis - Roblox

Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?

Jokes aside, this looks cool!
